Excitebike presents a track from the side, but gives you several lanes to choose between as jumps and hazards approach. Ordinary acceleration and turbo share the same simple goal while creating different pressure on the temperature gauge.
Push too hard and an overheated engine forces an awkward stop. In the air, leaning the bike changes its attitude for the landing, making a smooth touchdown part of maintaining speed. Rivals add traffic in one race mode, while the design mode lets you arrange obstacles yourself. Its small tracks support short sessions, but learning how a ramp, lane choice, and landing connect can keep one troublesome section interesting for a long time.
